Come in, place your food on your table, and set down and eat.... NO, NO, No, there is much to be done before you can enjoy a great Easter dinner. First there is preparing and displaying sign-up sheets for residents to sign up for a table. Next there is the menu for each table to plan. (Thanks to management, each table was given two beautiful spiral hams to share at their table.) Who is going to bake the hams, and designating the rest of the menu for each table.... How many tables, where are we going to put them, and then comes the morning of Easter and we need to set up tables and chairs before that table can be decorated.

Just got a couple pictures of the decorated tables, but all tables were very unique and nicely decorated.

Our Mr M.C. (Bob Thompson) and Jeanette Thompson

This year we had a total of nine tables with anywhere from 16 to 21 at each table. Approximately 154 plus who enjoyed dinner together.

Each table was given a "duty" to make the day go smoother. Norma Brown was at the "Host" table, so she was faithfully watching the back door in case someone needed a hand carrying food items in or just there to open up the door. Thanks Norma.

And just a few snap shots of residents taking a breather waiting for the crowd to come in. We hope all had a very happy Easter and enjoyed the day.

Once again, thanks to management for the delicious hams, and thanks to all who made this day such a great day, as it takes a "team" to make this possible.

On March 16th, approximately 306 Leisure World residents joined together at the Rec. Hall and the card room for Appreciation Day. Winter board members and their spouses plus many others worked in the kitchen preparing and clean up afterward. This was a great day to show appreciation of all the "work" throughout the season done by so many residents. President Linda Shires furnished and served different kinds of liquor. Coffee, tea and pop was served. Dick Connett kept busy making tea and coffee and taking pictures throughout the day. As the residents passed through the "food" line, they were served, Brisket, Sausage, Potato Salad, Coleslaw, and Bread.
